Chemistry class overview

My tutoring style blends dynamic and engaging methods with structured and analytical approaches to create hands-on learning experiences. Specializing in subjects like Atomic Structure, Bonding, and Physical Chemistry, I leverage tech tools such as digital whiteboards, interactive 3D models, and video conferencing for personalized tutoring. Following curricula like A-Levels (UK) and Advanced Placement (AP) Program (USA), I cater to college-level and school-level students, offering interactive lessons, practice worksheets, and quizzes to ensure their academic success. Some key aspects of my teaching methodology include: - Active Learning: Encouraging students to participate in discussions, problem-solving, and experiments to reinforce concepts. - Personalized Feedback: Providing constructive feedback on assignments, quizzes, and classwork to help students identify areas for improvement. - Real-World Applications: Connecting theoretical concepts to real-world examples and case studies to make learning more relevant and interesting. - Flexible Pacing: Adjusting the pace of lessons to accommodate individual learning styles and needs. - Continuous Assessment: Regularly assessing student progress and adjusting teaching strategies to optimize learning outcomes. By combining these approaches, I create a supportive and stimulating learning environment that helps students achieve their academic goals

Chemistry concept taught by sharmila

Mia learned 8 days ago

Mia and Sharmila are reviewing VSEPR theory in a chemistry tutoring session. They discuss how electron domain geometry (determined by the number of electron domains) influences molecular geometry (determined by the arrangement of atoms), with lone pairs causing greater repulsion and affecting bond angles. They cover various geometries (linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal, octahedral) and how lone pairs alter them, resulting in shapes like bent, trigonal pyramidal, seesaw, T-shaped, square pyramidal, and square planar. Sharmila emphasizes memorizing a VSEPR chart and guides Mia through an example problem (PCl3), highlighting the relationship between electron domain, electron domain geometry, molecular geometry, and bond angle.

Sharmila tutored Mia on periodic trends, including atomic and ionic radii, electronegativity, and the classification of elements. Mia practiced determining electronic configurations and understanding property trends in the periodic table. They scheduled weekly Monday sessions at 6 PM (Sharmila's time) to work on stoichiometry, and Sharmila requested a syllabus for better lesson planning.
